Introduction

Hello, I'm Erika! I provide culturally responsive, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed therapy to BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks navigating anxiety, trauma, first-generation challenges, life transitions or race/ethnic identity exploration. In our work together, we may explore childhood experiences, relational attachments, cultural environments, and relationship to your social identities to understand how the mind, body, and soul are impacted by these experiences. We may integrate a combination of approaches to support your goals such as EMDR, IFS, DBT. We may also explore other somatic approaches such as embodied awareness, creative art making, and gentle movements to help you reconnect with safety in your body. I bring a blend of empathy, compassion, affirmation, directness, and gentle challenging to our therapy sessions.
